Solution

The correct option is A 1 litre

To calculate the amount of water that will overflow we need to calculate the volume of cubes and cuboid that are immersed in water.

Volume of 1 cube = 1 x 1 x 1
= 1 cubic centimetres

Volume of 100 cubes
= 100 x 1 = 100 cubic centimeters

Volume of cuboid
= 25 x 9 x 4 = 900 cubic centimetres

Total volume
= 100 + 900 = 1000 cubic centimeters

We know that 1000 cubic centimeters = 1 litre

So, the amount of water that will overflow = 1 litre.
